After the second tournament, the event was never held again.

During this and the following year, a support group, the "Pearls of Omega" was formed. It was a formal group, with president, secretary, etc., and was personally supervised by a Brother of Pi Delta. They met on a different day than the Chapter; and reports on their activities became a regular part of the Chapter agenda. In 1975, Bro. Qualls gave the supervision of the Pearls to Bro. Beatty.
